Words and phrases – "for all purposes", "to and from". Real Property Act 1900 (NSW), ss 31B, 96B. Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW), ss 88B, 181A. 1 GLEESON CJ, GUMMOW, KIRBY, HAYNE AND HEYDON JJ. This litigation concerns the terms of an easement conferring a right of way by means of a vehicular ramp under the servient tenement. What is at stake is access to, from and over several parcels of land in the central business district of the City of Sydney. All of these parcels are registered under the provisions of the Real Property Act 1900 (NSW) ("the RP Act"). The appellant ("Westfield") is the present registered proprietor of the dominant tenement1 upon which is erected the multi-storey commercial premises known as "Skygarden". The respondent ("Perpetual") is the registered proprietor of the servient tenement2 upon which is erected the multi-storey commercial premises known as "Glasshouse". 2 Glasshouse fronts both King Street and a pedestrian precinct known as the Pitt Street Mall which runs at a right angle to King Street. Skygarden abuts the Pitt Street Mall. This pedestrian precinct lacks ordinary vehicular access. Hence the importance for Skygarden of access across the Glasshouse site to King Street. The legislation 3 Section 88B(2) of the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW) ("the Conveyancing Act") specifies requirements for the registration of plans which provide for the creation of easements. Upon registration of such plans the easements are created without any further assurance and by virtue of that registration (s 88B(3)(c)). Section 47 of the RP Act provides for the recording of a dealing creating an easement, with entries on the folios of the Register for the land benefited and the land burdened. This was done with respect to the Skygarden land and the Glasshouse land. 4 Section 31B of the RP Act requires the Registrar-General to maintain the Register. The Register comprises, among other instruments and records, both folios and dealings registered therein under the RP Act (s 31B(2)). A "dealing" includes any instrument registrable under the provisions of the RP Act (s 3(1)). Section 96B classifies the Register as a public record and provides for its inspection. 5 Together with the information appearing on the relevant folio, the registration of dealings manifests the scheme of the Torrens system to provide third parties with the information necessary to comprehend the extent or state of the registered title to the land in question. This important element in the Torrens system is discussed by Barwick CJ 1 Certificate of Title Volume 8638 Folio 220. 2 Certificate of Title Volume 8633 Folio 6. Gleeson CJ Gummow J Kirby J Hayne J Heydon J 2. in Bursill Enterprises Pty Ltd v Berger Bros Trading Co Pty Ltd3. It will be necessary later in these reasons to refer further to the significance of this for the present appeal. 6 The easement with which this litigation is concerned ("the Easement") was created upon registration of DP 641047 ("the DP") on 26 April 1988. The DP included an instrument ("the Instrument") headed: "Instrument Setting Out Terms of Right of Way Intended to Be Created Pursuant to Section 88B, Conveyancing Act, 1919". 7 The terms of the Easement identify it as: "Right of Way 6.6 wide and variable limited in height to the strata delineated on the plan." The attached plan shows entry from King Street and thence by subterranean passage or driveway across and beneath the Glasshouse land to the boundary of the Skygarden land. 8 At the time of creation of the Easement, the registered proprietor of the Glasshouse site was Jamino Pty Ltd ("Jamino") and the registered proprietor of the Skygarden site was Mastwood Pty Ltd ("Mastwood"). Perpetual and Westfield are respectively the present successors in title to Jamino and Mastwood. The Pitt Street Mall 9 The Pitt Street Mall was created in 1987. This implemented a plan adopted in 1983 by the Council of the City of Sydney ("the Council") for the closure of Pitt Street between King Street and Market Street to traffic. Construction on the Glasshouse site commenced in about 1987. A vehicular ramp under Glasshouse was completed in about 1988, substantially in accordance with the plan in the DP. The Skygarden building opened in 1990. 10 The Council had adopted a building code which at the time of construction of Glasshouse provided for the award of bonus floor space to encourage developers to supply elements of the pedestrian network favoured by the Council. The terms of a condition imposed by the development approval by the Council for Glasshouse have 3 (1971) 124 CLR 73 at 77-78. See also the remarks of Connolly J in Hutchinson v Lemon [1983] 1 Qd R 369 at 372-373. Gleeson CJ Gummow J Kirby J Hayne J Heydon J 3. been the subject of separate litigation between Perpetual, Westfield and the Council. An application by Perpetual for special leave to appeal to this Court against the decision of the New South Wales Court of Appeal in that litigation4 was heard with the present appeal, but was dismissed5. 11 At the time of the creation of the Easement in 1988, all four parcels of land had been in separate ownership. In recent years Westfield has acquired, in addition to the Skygarden site, the land upon which stand the commercial developments known as "Imperial Arcade" and "Centrepoint". Imperial Arcade adjoins Skygarden, and Centrepoint adjoins Imperial Arcade. Both Imperial Arcade and Centrepoint front the Pitt Street Mall. Westfield proposes to redevelop together all three sites. It wishes to utilise for that redevelopment the right of way under Glasshouse so as to enable vehicular access from King Street. The litigation 12 By summons filed in the Equity Division of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Westfield sought against Perpetual a declaration that the Easement permitted Westfield, as owner of Skygarden, to allow persons or vehicles to use the driveway to continue over (or more accurately, under) Skygarden to access driveways, parking spaces and loading docks to be built on the Imperial Arcade or Centrepoint sites. 13 Brereton J granted declaratory relief to the effect of that sought by Westfield6. The Court of Appeal (Beazley, Hodgson and Tobias JJA) allowed an appeal by Perpetual7 and set aside the orders of Brereton J. The principal reasons of the Court were delivered by Hodgson JA. 14 Westfield appeals to this Court, seeking to reinstate the decision of the primary judge. For the reasons that follow the appeal should be dismissed. The terms of the Easement 4 [2006] NSWCA 245. 5 [2007] HCATrans 367 at 5520-5540. 6 [2006] NSWSC 716. 7 (2006) 12 BPR 23,793. Gleeson CJ Gummow J Kirby J Hayne J Heydon J 4. 15 It is appropriate to begin with the terms of the Easement as they appear in the Instrument. What are identified as eleven conditions of the "right of carriageway" are set out. It will be necessary to refer to some of these conditions later in these reasons. It is the terms of the opening words of the Instrument which are of immediate importance. They state: "Full and free right of carriageway for the grantee its successors in title and registered proprietors for the time being of an estate or interest in possession of the land herein indicated as the lots benefited or any part thereof with which the rights shall be capable of enjoyment and every person authorised by it, to go, pass and repass at all times and for all purposes with vehicles to and from the said lots benefited or any such part thereof across the lots burdened". (emphasis added) 16 This form of words has an affinity to that which, since the commencement in 1931 of the Conveyancing (Amendment) Act 1930 (NSW) ("the 1930 Act"), has been the effect given by s 181A of the Conveyancing Act8 to the creation of a right of way using the expression "right of carriageway". Section 181A extends to dealings under the RP Act (s 181A(4)). The meaning given to the expression "right of carriageway" by the statute may be varied by the instrument in which it is used (s 181A(3)).

  • Pitt Street Over Station Development
    Pitt Street Over Station Development CONCEPT STATE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OVERVIEW AUGUST 2018 The Pitt Street integrated station development will better connect our global city, with new places to live, work and Sydney Metro is Australia’s biggest public transport project. This new stand–alone railway will deliver 31 metro stations and 66 kilometres of new metro rail, revolutionising the way play in the heart of Sydney. Australia’s biggest city travels. Joining other great global mass transit development initiatives, the NSW Government has identified stations on the Sydney Metro system which can be better integrated with the areas around them, creating world-class places that will shape our city’s future. Pitt Street Station has been identified as a prime location for an integrated station development. The Pitt Street integrated station development is made up of Pitt Street Station and two separate building proposals above the new station entries. These buildings will be located on the corner of Pitt and Park streets and on the corner of Pitt and Bathurst streets. The Pitt Street integrated station development will connect people with employment, transport and some of Sydney’s key destinations. It will be a hive of commerce and lifestyle opportunities, with new homes and hotel spaces. As the new metro station is built underground, the integrated station development can be built above it at the same time.

Sydney Metro received planning approval for Pitt Street Station in January 2017, and is now seeking two concept State Significant Development approvals for the buildings above the north and the south entrances to the station, these are also known as over station developments.

The Sydney metropolitan area accommodates 64% of the state’s retail space with the remaining 36% located within regional NSW. • Growth in retail spending in NSW for the 12 months to May 2007 was 4.78%, up from 2.88% the previous year. Whilst this represents a strong increase on the previous years growth, it continues to lag the Australian total 5-year average of 5.93%. • Despite sluggish growth in the state economy and in retail spending, the NSW retail sector managed a healthy total return of 17.27% for the year to March 2007 (PCA/IPD), supported by low vacancy rates underpinning steady rental growth, a pick up in retail spending and yield compression on the back of strong investor demand across all retail asset classes. • Rental growth was experienced across all retail asset classes in the 12 months to July 2007. Sub-regional centres experienced the strongest growth with net rents increasing 4.2%. Bulky goods centres faired the worst with rents increasing just 1.8% over the period. Incentive levels remained tight across all retail asset classes. • A total of 302,000 sq m of new retail space is due to enter the market in 2007, before surging in 2008 when a further 593,000 sq m is due for completion.
